Helios Rod

 

Since folks are looking for that perfect Christmas gift right now I have to mention this item first.  If you have a fly fisher on your list, this would be the perfect gift for him or her.  It is the lightest fly rod on the market and casts like a  dream.  Almost everyone of our guides is carrying and/or fishes a Helios and we love them.  I have stood in the water all day casting this rod with absolutely no casting fatigue at the end of the day.  It has a crisp, but soft feel, and in the wind, the tip flex will punch through almost anything.  The first thing a person comments on when they pick up this rod is how light it is.  When they cast it, they are amazed at how easily it cast.  

Orvis has a special promotion on the rod.  Purchase a Helio Rod and you get your choice of a FREE reel from the Battekill Bar Stock Aluminum, Battenkill Mid Arbor or Battenkill Large Arbor.  This could be up to a $249.00 savings depending on the reel you select.
